Skeletron

Skeletron

Skeletron is the guardian of the Dungeon. He is a Boss-level enemy Mob. Skeletron appears after speaking with the Old Man at night. He does not appear during daylight hours. If he endures until dawn after being summoned, he disappears, the player is killed, and the Old Man's cursed status is reset.

Skeletron must be defeated before the player enters the Dungeon. Failure to eliminate Skeletron and entering the Dungeon produces Dungeon Guardians, near-invulnerable enemies that can slay even powerful player characters with a single hit.

Skeletron is a skull accompanied by a pair of disembodied arms. His hands travel near ground level sweeping at the player. Occasionally his skull stops in midair to spin. When this happens his defence drops to 0 temporarily and he is at his most vulnerable.
